Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the question of political implications of French feminist theories, also known as feminist avant-garde. Referring to the strategic re-reading of the concept of French Feminism by Christine Delphy, I argue that such projects as écriture féminine have been appropriated by postmodern Anglo-American critique, which tends to fetishise the strategies of displacement and aestheticisation of the political field. The aim of the article is to examine whether contemporary feminist theories can take up the challenge of French feminist avant-garde by going back to its political roots.
